Abstract

In this paper, performance of OFDM systems with turbo code is analyzed and simulated in a satellite broadcasting channel. The performance is evaluated in terms of bit error probability. The satellite channel is modeled as a combination of Rayleigh fading with shadowing and Rician fading channels. As turbo decoding algorithms, MAP (maximum a posteriori), Max-Log-MAP, and SOVA (soft decision Viterbi output) algorithms are chosen and their performances are compared. From simulation results, it is demonstrated that Max-Log-MAP algorithm is promising in terms of performance and complexity. It is shown that performance is substantially improved by increasing the number of iterations and interleaver length of a turbo encoder. The results in this paper can be applied to OFDM-based satellite broadcasting systems.

본 논문에서는 위성 방송 채널에서 터보 부호화된 OFDM 시스템의 성능을 분석 및 실험하였다. 성능은 BER로 평가하였고, 위성 채널은 Rayleigh 페이딩과 Rician 페이딩의 조합으로 모델링 된다. 성능 비교를 위해 터보복호 알고리즘으로 MAP, Max-Log-MAP, SOVA가 사용되었다. 모의실험 결과, Max-Log-MAP 알고리즘이 성능과 복잡도 측면에서 가장 좋은 성능을 보임을 확인 하였다. 그리고 터보 부호화기의 iterations과 interleaver의 수를 증가시키면 성능이 향상됨을 알 수 있다. 본 논문의 결과는 OFDM 기반의 위성 방송 시스템의 설계에 활용될 수 있다.
